If you want to understand the details of why this is, I covered it in detail in this post, Understanding Changes in the Software Industry. Yes, it’s true that FOMO (fear of missing out) is driving some irrational behavior and valuations amongst uber competitive deals and well-financed VCs. They compete on features, price and execution.
